Nice course but not this month

Greens were often punched and sanded. Fairways not grown in from over seeding. Very wet. Got behind two groups just out to drink. No course Marshall's in sight. Not what I expected for $$$$. Golf at Maderas or in Cochella Valley instead for the money.

Challenging course, and good greens.

The course pace was very good, since there were not a lot of people on the course. The staff were very nice and helpful. The greens were fast, true, and no bumps, A little bit of target golf on some holes, but rewarding when you take chances. Overall, a beautiful and great course.

Course and staff are very nice, but price is very very high

The staff and facilities are great and the course is always in top condition. However, it is so expensive ($150-250) that it is not a good value.

Greens are so soft and slow that no challenge to play

Soft and slow greens are out of character for this course.

Great Course, but very tough!
I came here from Germany and it was a very nice expierence. The staff was very friendly and helpfull, the Course has a beautiful layout and fast greens (comparing to Germany).
The only negativ were my flight partners, but this is not the fault of the golf club!
